Fayetteville thefts neighborhood by neighborhood

The risk is not the same neighborhood to neighborhood. ABC11’s data team looked at the Fayetteville Police Department’s data by neighborhood from 2019 through May 16, 2025. ABC11’s citywide and police zone counts are based on the police department’s open data of every police incident, which is updated daily and published online. Because the city’s data is based on incident reports, some cases may not be counted yet.

The map color-codes each neighborhood by the theft rate over the last 12 months. The three darker blues represent neighborhoods with theft rates that are higher than the citywide rate. You can also click the box in the bottom right corner to see neighborhoods by the number of thefts.

A note about Fayetteville Police Department data and these pages: Statistics here count every incident in police data. Methodology for some government reports of crimes tabulates only the most severe incident if two crimes are reported as part of the same incident. For example, a homicide and a burglary will get counted in some crime totals as one incident of the most serious crime. Modern FBI methodology would count each incident as an individual crime, so it would count as a burglary and as a homicide. That is how the city data records incidents and how these pages and charts tabulate crimes.
